Originally posted by Nighthawk: The only problem I still have is that from a stop it takes a little bit for the tranny to kick into gear, and when it is really hot out, the engine tends to die if not in neutral at stop lights. The car is not worth a new tranny so I will nurse it to the grave.
Both of you will benefit further from the 4 quart drain & fill. Do it once now, then again on Saturdy or Sunday. Perform it a third time next weekend, and then every 4-6 months thereafter. Your problems as described are more severe than generally encountered for this approach, but it will hopefully take care of it.
I had the 'engine rev at the stop sign' thing happening for a short while and the 4 quart drain & fill noted above fixed me right up. Runs perfect & I would not hesitate to take this car across the country.
Must be that jumbly-wumbly thing happening again.
